Addictive tension, with an enduring theme

Rating: 10/10 (13 March 2005)

28 is actually more than just a horror movie it also asks the audience to contemplate being entirely alone. Its a twist on a Buddhist idea, if a tree falls in a forest does it make a sound, well "28" ask what happens if you scream in that per-verbal forest would you be more scared of the monsters are being alone. And if you like your tension built with visual montage's and quick camera movements this is an incredible stimulating movie but its not over done like in Bourne Supremacy. If your tired of movies where the character's all seem to have quirky chatter as if they are more an audience to the movie than they are characters like in Scream, then this is your sort of movie. "28" is not a peak-boo horror film, some psycho drama, but its much better because the shocking tension is addictive which means you want to watch it over and over again, if not for the adrenaline shock then for the mediative value.
